Kitchen sink is dripping

And I'm sitting wishing I could alter fate

Thinking about how, someday

My kids will only know my dog by name

Such a morbid thought, but I knew it from the start

Someday there'd be a cross where she plays in the yard

Ain't it so cruel how God gives you things to hold

To take 'em all away?

Love ain't for the faint of heart

Be careful, it'll leave its mark

Yeah, love ain't for the faint of heart

Every time that I leave Texas

Papa's got another hair gone gray

And the way that he makes Mama smile

It leaves another line upon her face

They've given me the world, or at least they've always tried

But the cost is someday saying goodbye

Love ain't for the faint of heart

Be careful, it'll leave its mark

There's no laughing without crying

No living without dying

But the light's always worth the dark

Love ain't for the faint of heart

MM

I knew it from the day we met

You were gonna drag me right through hell

Not because you're not amazing

Just because I know it all too well

Love ain't for the faint of heart

Be careful, it'll leave its mark

There's no laughing without crying

No living without dying

But the light's always worth the dark

Love ain't for the faint

No love ain't for the faint of heart
